They also like to run off when confronted with truth, which they cannot deflect away from. Yer Boy DavidS is starting new threads all over the board, posting hither and yon, and adroitly avoiding this one because of the corner he painted himself into.You do not have funding. Have you not been reading? The executive order directs that he be given, in 120 days, a full summary of the use for the funding. They don't have a bill, Obama didn't write a check, they have no funding and WILL NOT have, due to Dickey-Wicker amendment which was in the Omnibus spending bill which Obama just signed.
So essentially, nothing has been done.
Now, where's the private funding over the last eight years for this important, urgent work?
And YES THEY DID lie about it for eight years. The news media, Hollywood sycophants, and Dem politicians ALL said Bush banned the research. They didn't elucidate that it was only federal funding Bush banned.
Thanks at least for the honesty regarding what Bush actually banned.
They like to conveniently subject-hop, and mix and match to purposefully confuse. Same goes with partial-birth abortion. The second it's mentioned, the pro-abortion crowd goes ga-ga yammering on about women's rights and blah, blah, blah .... Completely lost in all the smoke and mirrors act of misdirection and misinformation is that partial-birth abortion and a 1st trimester abortion are not the same things.
Just as adult stem cell research and embryonic stem cell research are not the same things.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results. I've posted the same damn thing over and over -your feeble brain refuses to process it. I can only tell you that 2+2=4 and not 200 so many times.
I'll put this in terms you can understand - Bush banned federal funding of new embryonic stem cell research. There were only 20 or so lines to research. Now there can be hundreds if not thousands of lines to work with.
Obama lifted the ban. Obama banned federal funding for embryonic stem cell research that results in the destruction of embryos. There are methods, as I've posted the link to, to harvest stem cells without destroying the embryo.
As far as a list of stem cell research charities and their donations - you can google it. stem cell charity - Google Search
I have no idea how many billions have been donated over the past 8 years. You cited Michael J Fox, who does indeed have a foundation for Parkinson's research and a cure. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research Again, you'll have to do the research if you want to know if his foundation donates any money for embryonic stem cell research.
And finally you ask "Why can't private people donate money to fund this and leave the government out of it?"
Would you ask the same thing about cancer research? Are you against the government funding cancer research? What about AIDS and other STDs? What about diabetes research? The federal government spends tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars a year on disease and medical research. This is much more than any of the biggest charities could ever even dream of coming up with. We wouldn't be anywhere on disease research today with JUST private money.
